Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for loading goods into an aircraft comprising a side door.
  • load will be used in the remainder of this description to designate the material load of an aircraft, this term having to be understood in its broadest sense, whatever the packaging of this charge.
  • the invention therefore aims to provide an autonomous device, integrated into an aircraft, capable of only loading and unloading loads, on land lacking specialized means.
  • an autonomous device for loading and unloading loads for aircraft of the type comprising rolling means extending longitudinally in the hold on either side of a ball plate intended to receive the loads in front of a side door, characterized in that it comprises a foldable raceway, means for moving said raceway transversely to the hold in synchronism with the opening of the door, from a first folded storage position inside the hold to the right of said door, in a second, folded position, entirely exterior, in which it is articulated by a end on the door sill, and vice versa, the ball plate being movable and comprising guide means in which said raceway slides, means for lowering and raising the raceway in its second position, and means for traction connected to the ball plate.
  • said raceway comprises two roughly equal parts articulated together end to end, the length of which corresponds to the width of the floor of the hold in right of said door.
  • said parts of the raceway each consist of two parallel arms comprising rollers on their opposite faces.
  • the guide means in which the raceway slides consist of C-section rails mounted laterally on the movable ball plate, receiving said rollers and thus maintaining the spacing of said arms.
  • the means for moving the raceway from its first to its second position in synchronism with the opening of the door, and vice versa comprise at least one rigid bar articulated by one end on the lower part of the door and by its opposite end on said end of the raceway which is articulated on the threshold of the door in its second position.
  • the lowering and lifting device comprises a winch inside the hold, suitable for unwinding and winding a cable connected to said raceway, in the vicinity of the articulation of its two parts.
  • the traction device of the ball tray is a cable winch.
  • the apparatus comprises a folding articulated raceway designated as a whole by the reference 1 and comprising two parts 2, 3 articulated end to end around an axis 4.
  • the part 2 is, in this position, articulated by its end opposite the axis 4 on the threshold of the door 5 and, by this same end, on one end of at least one rigid bar 6, the other end of which is releasably articulated on the lower part of the door 5 of the hold by means which will be described in detail in the after.
  • parts 2 and 3 are slightly bent in the vicinity of the articulation axis 4, so that part 3 can be folded over part 2 parallel to it as shown in broken lines at 8.
  • a lifting cable 9 fixed on part 2 of the raceway in the vicinity of the articulation axis 4 extends towards the door 5 from a winch 10, along the ceiling of the hold, passes around a pulley 34 above the door, and its end is connected to part 2 of the raceway, in the vicinity of axis 4.
  • the hold of the aircraft comprises, in a known manner, rolling means 11 constituted by rows of rollers extending longitudinally to the fuselage and on which the loads are displaced as and when they are received on a ball plate which is usually fixed to the right of the door between two sections of the rolling means 11.
  • the ball plate 12 is movable.
  • the ball tray 12 has on the median axis of its underside two rollers 16 mounted idly on vertical axes 17: it is understood that the rollers 16 are adapted to guide the tray 12 in the rail 15 when rolls on the rollers 13.
  • the plate 12 has on two sides longitudinal guide rails 18 shown on a larger scale in FIG. 6 and each having in cross section and from top to bottom a first C-shaped part 19 delimiting a lateral longitudinal slit 20, and a second part 21 in inverted U, that is to say open down.
  • Each of the two parts of the raceway 1 is constituted by two parallel rigid arms 22 having a length approximately equal to the width of the floor of the hold at the door, and each comprising on the one hand on their opposite faces rollers 23 rotatably mounted around horizontal axes 24, and secondly rollers 25 rotatably mounted around vertical axes 26 supported in cantilever by transverse supports 27 integral with the arms 22.
  • the arrangement is such that the ball plate 12 can be carried on each of its sides on the arms 22 by the rollers 23 engaged in the upper part 19 of the rails 18, and guided by the rollers 25 engaged in the lower part 21. Thanks to this arrangement, when it is engaged between the arms 22, the plate 12 maintains their spacing.
  • front and rear edges 28, 29 respectively of the plate 12 are chamfered, as shown in FIG. 7 in order to engage, in the storage position, on the one hand under a rim of a front stop member 30 and secondly under a rim of a stop member 31 mounted on the lower part of the door 5, in the closed position of the latter.
  • the means for lowering and raising the raceway comprise in practice two cables 9 each fixed on an arm 22 in the vicinity of the axis 4 in order to avoid any twisting of the assembly.
  • rollers 23 and 25 of the arms of part 2 of the raceway are respectively engaged in parts 19, 21 of the side rails 18 of the ball plate 12 which rests on the rollers 13 and whose lower rollers 16 are engaged in the rail 15.
  • the chamfered front edge 28 of the plate 12 is engaged under the edge of the front stop 30 which blocks it, while its chamfered rear edge 29 is engaged under the edge of the rear stop 31 secured to the door 5.
  • the cables 9 are wound on a winch drum 10, extend along the ceiling 33 of the hold to the upper edge of the door where they pass around the pulleys 34.
  • the bars 6 connecting the end of the part 2 opposite the axis 4 to the lower part of the door 5 are practically aligned with the arms 22 of the parts 2 and 3 of the raceway.
  • the winch 10 is then actuated to unwind the cables 9 until the opposite end of the part 2, carrying the axis 4, is at the height of a plate 37 of a vehicle transporting loads. Part 3 of the raceway 1 is then deployed manually until its end rests on the plate 37.
  • the end of part 3 opposite the axis 4 can be provided with two removable support members 38 in the form of hooks mounted at the free ends of the arms of part 3 of the raceway and advantageously terminated. each by a roller in order to absorb the longitudinal displacements of the assembly, the apparatus then being in the position I shown in Figure 2.
  • the winch 10 is then actuated to straighten the raceway by bringing part 3 in the extension of part 2 (position II in figure 3) and the platform 12 is allowed to descend to the edge of the platform 37 by retaining it by means of 'a cable 40, fixed on it and connected to the drum of a second winch 39.
  • the winch 10 is again actuated by unwinding the cable 9 to bring the assembly back to position I in FIG. 2 in which the load can then be placed on the plate 12 as shown in phantom.
  • the winch 10 is then again actuated to go up the raceway with its two parts in alignment in position II (FIG. 3) and the load is hoisted up to the threshold of the door by means of the winch 39.
  • the winch 10 again actuated, returns part 2 of the raceway to a horizontal position III (FIG. 4) and the load is brought on board on the plate 12 leaving the arms 22 of part 2 and rolling on the rollers 13, guided in the rail 15 by its rollers 16. The load can then be moved forward or backward in the hold of the aircraft on the rolling means 11.
  • FIG. 9 shows another example of the use of the device according to the invention, in which a load brought on board is loaded by means of a crane.
  • a load brought on board is loaded by means of a crane.
  • the plate 12 position 32 ′ in figure 1
  • it is lowered by means of the winch 10 until the end of the folded assembly, which has the hinge pin 4, rests directly on the ground, and part 3 of the raceway is then unfolded, flat, also on the ground.
  • the rest of the operations are the same as above.
